Your personal voyage of discovery
Explore and learn about new lands and people as you experience the rich culture and fascinating
landscapes we sail to. Take the road less travelled and enrich your perspective during visits to
communities, natural habitats, and historic sites that can be otherwise difficult to reach.

Our expeditions are designed to be flexible and allow us to make the best of Mother Nature’s
conditions. We often make landfall at new places and are able to share new discoveries and
local knowledge with you. Your voyage will be marked with thoughtful discussions, expert
interpretation, and the spirit of discovery.

                                             Get off the ship, get into a Zodiac!
                                             Cruise among icebergs; search for marine
                                             mammals; visit an Inuit hamlet; wander remote
                                             coastline… simply enjoy the freedom of being out
                                             on the water daily! Our goal is to get you off the
                                             ship, as often as possible.

                                             Zodiacs free us from the dependency on ports,
                                             piers, and other man-made infrastructure. These

Wildlife encounters

seabirds in Atlantic Canada; muskox, seals, and polar bears in the high Arctic. Whether viewing
on deck, in the Zodiac, or learning during our presentation series, you’ll come away with an
appreciation for the fine creatures that inhabit our world. Our best practices ensure the safety and
integrity of the wildlife we have the privilege to view.
